Premature Poems

Born before
their time,
severed,
pell-mell;
they were
diagnosed with
incomplete
rhyme.

When I saw
three Ganpatis
dancing on
one leg,
I turned believer,
not in God,
but in the phrase
teen tigda,
kaam bigda!

Poignancy
evaded me
when I
hunted for it.

In my
waking dream,
I let colourless
green ideas
sleep furiously.

On a blog,
it’s rudimentary
to give a
running
commentary
of your life.

Finishing the
unfinished
is an oxymoron.
There is always
something
more to be done.

It wasn’t even
my wedding,
yet, I was
turned into
a clothes horse.

Out of order.
Down for Maintenance.
Out for lunch.
Pain is good for art.
